Alexandra Jaye Conder unintentionally became known as “Sepia Bride” after sharing her wedding photography horror story on TikTok. The $8,000 photographer edited her solo shots in a way that distorted her appearance, causing a viral uproar, with millions of views and a divide between #TeamBride and #TeamPhotographer on social media. The term “Sepia Bride” stems from the toning technique used on old photos for a nostalgic effect. While some sympathize with Conder, others argue she should have researched the photographer’s style beforehand. Despite not reaching an agreement with the photographer, Conder plans to reshoot her portraits and hopes her experience will bring about positive change in the wedding industry, emphasizing the need for communication and transparency between vendors and clients. She aims to continue sharing her story to help future brides navigate the wedding planning process more effectively.
